Piraniya xelkê vî gundî, milletê me yê Ereb e. The majority of the people in this village are our Arab people.
Lê hinek jî di nav da Kurd hene. But there are also some Kurds among them.

Apê min ê hêja, inekî em ê destpêkê inekî gund bipirsin, dîroka gund bipirsin. My dear uncle, let us first ask a little about the village, ask about the history of the village.
Ev gunda kî ava kir? Ji kengî da çêbûye? Who founded this village? Since when has it existed?
Mago gund, ê Osman Hebîb bû. They say the village belonged to Osman Habib.
Osman Hebîb xwo, bavê Hemdûş bû. Hemdûş van li Kefer Cenê... sahiyê xan... ê wan bû. Osman Habib was the father of Hamdoush. Hamdoush, the ones in Kefer Jene... the owners of the inn... it belonged to them.
Wana, Hemdûş firot... kî kirî? Xewacekî Helebî bû kirî. Them, Hamdoush sold it... who bought it? An Aleppo gentleman (Khawaja) bought it.
Baedî fatrokê dest Xewacê da bû, paşê firot Zekî Şamî kirî. After it was in the Khawaja's hands for a period, he sold it and Zaki from Damascus (Shami) bought it.
Zekî Corc Şamî. Zaki George Shami.
Kirî... hinek il cem cotarî bûn, hinek aa bûn, xezeb bûn, aa bûn, gund ê ewî bû, ê Zekî Şamî bû. He bought it... some were sharecroppers with him, some were... laborers... it was so, the village belonged to him, to Zaki Shami.
Baedî ganda Zekî Şamî, di salê... teqrîben di ewê da firot, şêst û heftan, şêst û şeşa da, gund hat firotin. Islah Zîra'î jî hat lê qelibî. Then Zaki Shami, in the year... approximately in that time he sold it, sixty-seven, sixty-six, the village was sold. The Agrarian Reform also overturned on it.
Hinek erdê sefek berdan feqîrê gund, ê gûcê xwo lê bû, hinekê xwo kirî, ê din jî firotin gundê dorê, av kirin. They released some non-irrigated land to the poor of the village, those who had the means bought some of their own, and the rest they sold to the surrounding villages, they made it prosperous.
Zekî Şamî firot, bi dest, kî ket, dest millet ket. Kî kirî, hat lê rûnişt. Zaki Shami sold it, by hand, who got it? The people got it. Whoever bought it came and settled here.
Malbata te di gund da... ew kesê tu behsê dikî, ew nemane? Your family in the village... those people you speak of, they haven't remained?
Na kes ji wan nema, ew firotin, hew ne, derketin çûn. No, none of them remained, they sold, that's it, they left and went.

Gundê Kefer Mezê girêdayî navçeya Şera ya kantona Efrînê, 12 kîlometreyan li başûrê bajarê Kişera, û 15 kîlometreyan li rojhilatê bajarê Efrînê dikeve. The village of Kafr Mez is attached to the Shera district of the Afrin canton, located 12 kilometers south of the town of Kibar (Kishera), and 15 kilometers east of the city of Afrin.
Gundê Kefer Mezê ji her du pêkhateyên Kurd û Ereb pêk tê. Her du pêkhate weke yek malbat bi hevre dijîn. Di şahî û xemgîniyan de xwedî li hev derdikevin. The village of Kafr Mez consists of both Kurdish and Arab components. Both components live together like one family. They support each other in times of joy and sorrow.
Malbata Hemşo wekî damezrînerê gund tê naskirin. Jiber pirsgirêkên civakî malbata Hemşo ji gund derket û xanûmanên wan radestî malbata Daxî hatin kirin. The Hamsho family is known as the founder of the village. Due to social problems, the Hamsho family left the village and their properties were handed over to the Daghi family.
